	(b)  The department by rule shall set the fee under 
Subsection (a) so that the aggregate amount of money in the 
low-level radioactive waste fund, including interest earned on the 
fees and payments from party states, will be $100 million on the 
35th anniversary of the date the license is issued under this 
subchapter. To the extent possible, the department shall ensure 
that annual fees collected under Subsection (a) are approximately 
equal.
	(c)  The department shall deposit a fee collected under 
Subsection (a) to the credit of the low-level radioactive waste 
fund.
	(d)  The department shall require the license holder 
annually to post a bond to insure against closure and

$100 million.  A bond under this subsection must be in an amount 
that, when combined with the amount in the low-level radioactive 
waste fund, is $100 million.

		(1)  postclosure contingency fees collected under

on planning and implementation fees, processing and packaging fees,

radioactive waste compact entered into under Section 402.219(c), 
and other receipts] collected by the department [authority] under 
this chapter [shall be deposited to the credit of the low-level 
radioactive waste fund].
	(d)  Money [Except as provided by Subsection (f), money] in 
the low-level radioactive waste fund may be used only to address and 
prevent unplanned events that pose a risk to public health and 
safety that may occur after decommissioning and closure of the

		[(1)  operating and maintenance costs of the authority;      
		[(2)  future costs of decommissioning, closing, and

expense authorized by Subsection (d).]
	(f)  Every six years beginning on the third even-numbered 
year after the date the license is issued under this subchapter, the 
department shall evaluate the low-level radioactive waste fund to 
determine whether the fund will be adequate to accomplish the

results of the evaluation to the governor, lieutenant governor, and 
speaker of the house of representatives on or before December 15 of 
the year in which the evaluation is conducted.  [The authority may
